What would most people rather have?

A legal but restricted & DRMed file?

OR

A downloaded clean file that they could use without possible system damage by DRM/restriction schemes?
BINGO!
With piracy its good kbps encoded and anything that plays standard video formats will play it. not this proprietary player because of DRM low kbps encoded crap.
oh yeah, piracy peeps REMOVE the ADVERTISEMENTS before uploading. id much rather blow 700MB on 39 minutes of content at better encode rate than 60 minutes of low encode rate with ads that i can't skip over.
I'd LOVE to pay for content if only they did it as well as the pirate do it.

I dont know about you guys but i prefer to watch my TV shows on TV if i have to DL them. I cant stand watching movies/TV shows on my computer. Are the legit content providers still stuck on only allowing their content to be viewed on computers? are they allowing you to burn them to a CD/DVD and watch elsewhere?
Some of us have laptops and we plug right in to our TV'S to watch what we have download so i still use my Tv for something.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19074618 Fri, 14 Sep 2007 14:55:02 EDT Re: Restrictions/DRM vs Clean File? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19074372 Kearnstd : And some Torrents set you up nowdays with some very good rips of the said shows. ive had a few that look great even when run at my Laptop's max resolution of 1920x1200. now all we need is for MS to give native Divx, Xvid and that H with numbers format support to the 360 and its media program so one doesnt have to transcode in Tversity.

File will not play in other player software either(odd codec?)... so I hit the DDL sites. ;)

You purchase it and still, you're not free to view it as you like.

I like to view the episodes using my divx dvd player on TV. I don't want to pay $3.99 per episode and then be restricted on my usage.
I'd rather buy the whole season on DVD.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19073699 Fri, 14 Sep 2007 12:08:39 EDT Re: Restrictions/DRM vs Clean File? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19073571 hopeflicker : I dont know about you guys but i prefer to watch my TV shows on TV if i have to DL them.
